July 6, 2007 .
Got this from CNet.
But why is the iPhone generating so much hype? It’s just a phone after all, isn’t it? While it does have an elegant design and attractive interface, what could be in this device that’s revolutionary? We compare it side-by-side with the N95, the top-of-the line handset from the world’s No. 1 phone maker, at the moment, Nokia.

Your side by side is severely flawed.
You have red and green as if that is good and bad, like with the mega pixels of the cameras, but
Mac OS X
A blog is worthless if it cuts off your comments!!
sorry the earlier comment had been cut off. I checked the database. Seems the data did make to DB. Have no idea what’s going on. Wondering if there was any special characters or some that made wordpress acted on it.
But a phone is a phone. If I don’t have N95 the first place, I’m a happy iPhone owner myself now. Actually I lately spend more time on my Treo 700WX than with N95. It’s a Window Mobile phone, which makes lots of people vomiting I’m sure. But with high speed EVDO, who cares.
Instead of making a comparison, here is a list of differences between the iPhone and the N95
Bluetooth
iPhone - May work, but is a very limited and closed system with few practical uses.
Nokia N95 - Has A2DP and AVRCP. This means you can:
Use it as a wireless music storage device in your car to transmit your music in excellent quality to your car stereo to play
back the music.
Control the phone’s playback of your music collection from your car radio.
Use both cameras of the phone as an excellent wireless webcam for your PC with Mobiola Webcam.
Use microphone of the phone as a wireless microphone for your PC with Mobiola Microphone Remote.
Use a wireless keyboard such as space saver Think Outside keyboard or any typical BT wireless keyboard.
Use high quality wireless headphones (Sony, Bose, Motorola, etc.) that allow control of the music playback on the phone.
Use your PC wirelessly to move, copy, delete, and edit files directly on the phone.
Use your PC to wirelessly control all the features of the phone and at the same time display the phones screen on your PC,
recording it if your wish, with Mobiola Remote Phone Control.
Access and utilize external Bluetooth GPS positioning devices.
Computer access
iPhone - Very limited closed system with no direct access to the data for repair if it were corrupted.
Nokia N95 - With cable, WiFi, and Bluetooth you can:
Drag and drop, synchronize, share, and stream files, (music, pictures, video, documents, files, and folders) to or from any
PC on your network, to any uPnP device.
Map network drives on your phone for access from PC’s, access mapped network drives on your PC’s from your phone with SymSMB.
Access and download all the data on your PC’s and listen to and watch your entire PC media collection of streamable media
(music and movies) from anywhere in the world with Orb.
WIFI
iPhone - Works
Nokia N95 - Works and is reported to stream data at a faster rate than the iPhone.
Bar-code reader
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - Get contact information instantly at trade shows from the other members cards.
Record sounds and voice
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - Excellent microphone with which you can:
Record anything you want, including calls. No limit in length.
Remove the required 5-second beep with Ultimate Voice Recorder.
GPS
iPhone - Cell tower emulated triangulation. Voice instructions.
Nokia N95 - Built in real GPS hardware, cell tower emulated triangulation, External Bluetooth hardware capable, Assisted GPS
or any combination of all three. You always have some kind of fix. With the GPS you can:
Find your current location in a foreign city at night and find and get direction from where you are to where you want to go.
Get directions to services of all kinds.
Use third party add-ons such as Tomtom.
Use the Nokia Sport Tracker for walking, riding bikes, hiking, etc. This provides several different statistical analyzes of
distance, elevation, time and distance, including laps and the actual path taken with the ability to save and compare your
results with other results.
Camera
iPhone - 2 mega pixel. A common place phone camera that will not produce images that most people would want if they went to a
concert or show.
Nokia N95 - 2 cameras. 5 mega pixel and VGA for video conferencing on EU networks. The 5 meg camera takes stunning pictures
day and night. Carl Zeiss optics. Comes with editing software right on the phone. With third party applications your can take
pictures of pages and email them or fax them.
Video capture
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - 640 x 480 @ 30 fps. Stunning quality, even at night, with audio. Includes digital stabilization.
Activation
iPhone - 2 year contract that adds up to quite a bit.
Nokia N95 - Buy it unlocked from Nokia or Dell directly and have a warranty and no contract to take it where ever you want.
Infrared
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - Works great. With it you can
Transfer data.
Control all the Infrared devices in your house and office.
Connect to your PC and use the phone as a modem.
Screen
iPhone - Very nice large touch screen. (finger print prone). Requires 2 hands to operate easily.
Nokia N95 - Smaller screen than the IPhone. A larger screen would have been nice. Easy one handed operation.
TV Out
iPhone - None
Nokia N95 - Works great with the supplied cable. Use it in a hotel room with a BT keyboard to read email and edit office documents, Use it on your TV to play video games, movies, and share pictures.
Cable Interface
iPhone - proprietary iPod type connection.
Nokia N95 - Mini USB and a standard mini plug that all ear buds use. (same plug for TV Out)
Speakerphone
iPhone - ?
Nokia N95 - People do not even know I am on it.
Speakers
iPhone - Mono sound
Nokia N95 - Probably the best set of stereo speakers every installed in a cell phone.
Ring tones
iPhone - Is it even worth mentioning?
Nokia N95 - Use pretty much anything you want. Any audio track on the phone can be used. Create your own mix right on the phone itself and save it as a new mp3 or ring tone.
Traveling
iPhone - You are locked to ATT, period.
Nokia N95 - Unlocked and support for various networks across the globe. If you are traveler, the iPhone is not even a consideration if you do your research.
Sexiness (I am putting this here because CNET mentioned this)
iPhone - Sleek and cool looking, but viewed as a toy in the workplace.
N95 - Viewed as THE phone of a technologically competent professional.
Battery
IPhone - Longer lasting than the N95, but not removable
Nokia N95 - Replaceable battery. If you find yourself in the EMERGENCY situation where you need to make a call and do not have access to a charger and your battery is dead, you can just replace the battery with a spare. With the iPhone you could be stuck off the side of a cliff in a car with no power and trapped. Unfortunately, Apple seemed to overlook this MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF HAVING A CELL PHONE IN THE FIRST PLACE. EMERGENCYS! I would actually be willing to get my wife this phone if it were not for this issue.
Additional third party applications
IPhone - None at this time.
Nokia N95 - Several different office applications, programming, game emulators such as MAME (allowing playing pf 1000’s of known arcade game classics), Synch applications, Tune musical instruments, Gmaps, Google maps, Phone Guardian, GSM Tracker, ybroswer, FExplorer, SysExplorer, studio nokia, mobile web server, cCam, Carbide ui, SymSMB, Instant Messaging, VoIP,SSH/Telnet, rar files with Mobilerar, stream with Orb or TVersity, Mobiola Webcam, Mobiola Microphone Remote, Mobiola Remote Phone Control, Tomtom, NavXS and others, Aspicore GSM Tracker, ultimat voice recorder, really nice 3D games by the hundreds, HourPower, Digital Clock, Mobisophy InteractiveVoice Call Master, Webgates Advanced Call Manager, MobieGenie, Divx player, CORE Player, Flash 5 player, PeerBox, TextQuick, Mobile Weather, eBuddy, MSN, Mig33, ScanR, Palringo, Adobe PDF support preinstalled, MS Excel and Word support pre installed, S60 Internet Radio, VCEL, ShoZu, TypePad Mobile, OperaMini, The Kaywa Reader, Jaiku, Nokia Sensor, Nokia Team Suite, Gmail Mobile, Symella, SymTorrent, Python for S60, PuTTy, QReader, ReadM, Chords for S60, S-Tris 2, Nokia - Wellness Diary, Acala 3GP Movies, studio_nokia, MyStrands, OggPlay, JabpLite, Calcium, GCalSync, Autolock, MobileRar, Nokia Local Search, Scenetone, Tasky, Nokia DJ Mixer, Fring, WorldMate, CellTrack, Loc Bluepulse, Spodtronic, Mobixie, Hibaru, DJMixerNSeries, SafeTxt, GamesFlash, Market Simplified for Mobiles, myNumbers, Qibla Compass for Mobiles, Handylearn Counter, Weight and Measures Quick Study Guide, mShell, Virgin Radio & Podcast Player.
I could add to this list for hours. Many of these applications are free. Most of these programs are well written and feature rich. These are not trivial little tidy bits. If you really want a smart phone, it has to be smart enough to know that it will not do everything out of the box and some things should be left to outside programmers to develop. The iPhone’s application list is not even a bad joke compared to the N95. The problem with comparing the two is that it takes months just to get a handle on the capabilities of an N95. Most N95 users do not take the time to respond to such comparisons, as the
comparison is not only foolish, but requires quite a bit of time to accurately list the N95’s capabilities.
HAHA… this is soo flawed… one of the most basic mistakes!!!
the n-95 has an accelerometer… and it CAN BE USED to change screen orientation….. true, it doesn’t come as default, but there are 3rd party apps, or if you’re willing, you can program it.. like i did…
For threaded smses, there’s a conversation app that does just teh same….
and as for music player,, i installed another one… which can play almost any sound files (can’t remember the name of it honestly :S )
and as far as the lock goes… even N95s can b locked… it just depends on where u bought it from, and what uve done to unlock it!
